To change an air filter or battery. And by not having a hood you guarantee at least the first $100. They call that sensible? While you can remove seat pads to clean them, you can't check your oil and put some in to make it to the garage without ruining the engine. I guess calling a tow truck is easier if you have the cash to waste.
"Honestly, the only time I open the bonnet on my car is when I want to fill up washer fluid," said Tatiana Butovitsch Temm.
So she doesn't worry about her break fluid, coolant, oil or transmission fluid. But damn gotta have the window cleaner. Seems they were more worried about look (cleaning, color coordination etc.) than the mechanical soundness of the vehicle. The only people who would like this are people who call a cars hood a bonnet. What's what's next an auto designed by the queer eye guys? Good thing it's only a concept car.
The wages in Germany and other European countries are higher than the US. But germany protects it's workers and there is a "buy german" ethic by many.
Germans buy german made cars, beer, furniture etc.
And they have laws protecting them from outsourcing.
The press reports they are talking about say this:
' The migration plan is more complex than simply replacing Windows with Linux, according to an outline provided by the Munich information department. Studies on open-source security, desktop ergonomics and the software components' stability and compatibility with other applications will be included in the process.
But according to Computerwoche and other reports, the city lacks the funds to invest in the planned testing and development of an open-source solution. IBM and Germany-based Linux distributor SuSE are expected to help offset the costs of the migration by supplying technical support and conducting some of the studies that the Munich city council has requested.
Reports in Computerwoche also stated that local vendors who currently code applications for the city were experiencing problems in developing applications for the open-source operating system, since they are more familiar with Windows than Linux.'
Yes it's more expensive to actually worry about security and design system that factors in security needs.
It would much cheaper in the short term to just toss the latest MS product on hundreds of machines and ignore security totally. Nobody need do a study, the answer is MS security is almost non existent.
And the last paragraph speaks volumes about relying on an MS monoculture. Noow those vendors are screwed and any venor who can provide an open source solution for Munich will get there contract.
I imagine some people carrying signs with the goatse.cx picture. Others would argue for software patents just to troll and get others to argue against. Some jerk would stand there and wonder Imagine a beowulf cluster of......
If other open source projects, apache,sendmail, postfix etc. Would follow suit, I think sco or anybody else contemplating similiar actions, would have to rethink their litigous business plan.
I agree that pornography is not the direct cause of pedophilia, rape, incest or necrophilia. But I believe that explicit pornography is a link in the chain of events that occurs when a person decides to act out their fantasy. Because a person looks at playboy doesn't turn him into Jack the Ripper. But an obsession with porn depicting slashing flesh and sex is a good indicator this person is looking something more than healthy sex.
You can find alot of studies that show a link between child porn and pedophilia at Sexual Abuse of Children, Child Pornography and Paedophilia on the Internet:
An international challenge
Let's take another case. Jeffrey Dahmer (sp?) stated in an interview on TV, that his problems started with an obsession with pornography.
Following a well-publicized trial, in 1979 he was sentenced to death for the murder of two college students; the following year he was sentenced to death, for the rape and murder of a 12-year-old girl. Ted Bundy gave his only death row interview to founder of Focus on the Family, a California-based ministry that later moved to Colorado Springs. He was put to death in Florida's electric chair on Jan. 24, 1989, for the sex slaying of Kimberly Leach, 12, hours after he told Dr. James Dobson, that unless society deals with pornography that depicts violence "lots of kids . . . are going to be dead tomorrow." --excerpt from http://www.karisable.com/skazbund.htm
I believe that when you have a sick addiction the more you cater to that addiction the more your likely to act out your fantasy. Is there a high incidence of pornography purchased by rapists? Of course there is, the person feeds his desire and that desire grows. Now I'm not advocating outlawing all porn. But by eliminate access to phedophilia related images, then you take away one element that is feeding those persons sickness. I have no problem with decency standards being set by the majority. Under constitional law the first amendment can be overturned by a 2/3 vote in congress. I don't advocate that either. I do advocate limits to free speech based on standards agreed to by the people via their represenatives. If you don't agree with the standard then there is a legal recourse to change it, vote for new represenatives. That way you don't have unlimited child porn anime broadcast 24 hours daily over the airwaves for all to view just because sex sells.
If we allow one person a judge, not elected to office the ability to change laws via their own whims of what they think is "right", then we take away representation and replace it with litigation.
I may be flammed for this, but I think we have allowed judges way too much power. I believe congress has been quite unwilling to write laws that may upset some minority who's paying their bills instead of the majority. And I believe congress has not provided the proper checks and balances to the other branches of government. That's why we end up in undeclared wars because congress let's the executive branch make those desicions. That way they aren't responsible and they can complain come election time even though they are just as responsible. By not taking action, they give their tacit approval but are able to deny culpability. And the exact same is happening with the judicial branch.
I totally agree, I've been running multiple linux servers and desktops here at my employers for 4 years and have only had one server compromised in all that time. And that server was setup by someone other than myself. I took SANS courses while enlisted as a Unix Sysadmin in Air Intelligence for the AirForce.
Those SANS courses really helped me spot things I normally would have missed, and I was able to use that experience in my career after the Airforce.
Your assuming too many ifs. If this isn't worked out in a year. If there isn't a fork that works. If NVIDIA is woried about Xfree86 and not about an actual installed base of linux and BSD's. NVIDIA already supports more than one version of X, no reason to think they won't continue to. Remember they want to sell cards, not Xfree86.
I have had 2 different Tablet PC's a toshiba and an electrovaya. The toshiba was a laptop that the display rotated and the electrovaya is a true tablet. The handwriting recogition absolutely sucks on both of them. The electrovaya is a pain because you can't set it anywhere! When you place it on a table the lights in the room cause so much glare you can't read it. It sets on my desk propped up with a box and I use a wireless keyboard & mouse. The toshiba is a decent laptop, but at $2300+ it's way overpriced, the electrovaya wasn't any cheaper. Neither of them has an internal cdrom, both are wireless. So for over two grand you get less than a $1000 laptop wil get you. I have a 12" ibook and it's perfect, I've used a wacom tablet with it and find it more suitable that either of the tablets. And it has a dvd/cdr, and wireless for half what we paid for either tablet PC's.
Well I'm no professor, but corn has been grown long before gasoline was ever concieved of. Couldn't electric tractors be made? And as another poster already stated there is already bio-diesel. Seems to me that electric power from things like Nuclear Power plants and the 77,000 (FEMA Statistic) dams in the US, could provide enough power to create enough ethanol.
Imagine the size and speed gains we would get if we could now have three or four states per bit.
Three states have been around awhile it's called Tri-state Logic. Gordon Moore gave an interview in PC Magazine. He discussed multi-state logic, but said it was a non issue. He said that neural networks were much more important breakthrough.
That 22M new jobs will be the jobs taken by Mexican guest workers under Bush's plan.Unfortunately the displaced American worker won't be counted in the unemployment statistics after his unemployment benefits have run out and him and his family starved to death and or turned to crime.
Didn't read the article eh? I'll post the important part.
County attorney David Morris said that programming work for the day-care center had been outsourced to the locally-based Genesee Community College. The manager of the college's program refused to speak to a reporter, but Morris said Dennis was a third party consultant hired by Genesee. Dennis, in turn, used RentACoder to once again subcontract the database work, which ultimately fell to a New Jersey-based programmer.
By that time, the programmer actually working on the day-care data was four steps removed from the county's social services program.
So the gist is they outsourced to a CommunityCollege who then outsourced it to a website. The coder who answered the website not only didn't know what he was doing and tried to get someone else to help him, he probably had no idea the significance of the data to begin with. Since nobody who had a clue actually hired him. Outsourcing something that important is exactly what is wrong. I've seen companies outsource jobs that were essential to the well being of the company and nobody in charge (CEO,CIO) will admit that the reason the business failed was due to putting something critical in the hands of others who didn't have the same priorities as them. You should only outsource when the task is not critical and doing it yourself is too expensive. If it's important and you don't have the expertise, hire employees who do. Then when something is needed, you get it when you want it and how you want it. If neither is possible choose another line work.
